News Take the Super Impossible Road on PS4
Balled up
If you've ever tried to leap off the track in WipEout in order to land your craft further down the circuit, then Super Impossible Road may just be the game for you. The minimalistic racer does away with rubber banding and power-ups, instead requiring you to hop off complex procedurally generated circuits in order to get the – ahem –...

News Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! Tickles PS4's Taste Buds in 2016
Belly buster
Here's a bit of Push Square Towers trivia for you: this author loves cooking games. Whether it's the minigames of Cooking Mama or the frantic restaurant management of Order Up, your humble host has prepared more virtual meals than you've had hot dinners. Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!! may well have the least appetising name since Barfy...
News The Team Behind Skullgirls Is Making an Action RPG Inspired by Metroid

The studio's announced that it's working on a title called Indivisible - an action role-playing game that's inspired by the likes of Metroid. Sadly, we don't...

According to the game's press release, ELEX is a "post-apocalyptic science fantasy universe that puts players into a huge, seamless game world full of original...
News Whispering Willows Has an Out-of-Body Experience on PS4, Vita
Look upon thyself
E3 2015 didn't bring as many of the smaller games as this author was expecting, but we suppose that that's because new ones are announced literally everyday on the PlayStation Blog. Whispering Willows is one such title, which is set to debut on the PlayStation 4 and Vita from 30th June in Europe and North America. It'll launch with...
News Lighter, Eco-Friendly PS4 Hardware Launches This Month

E3 2015 A New Nier by Platinum Games Will Grace the PS4
Nice to have you Nier
Nier released in 2010 to mixed reception with its story, characters, and gameplay, but has its passionate fans that revere the title like a cult classic. So, when Square Enix announced at its E3 2015 conference that Platinum Games will be taking the reigns of the series with several significant Japanese game industry veterans...
E3 2015 Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls Confirmed for PS4
The origami killer awaits
And the surprises just keep coming. Alright, we've know about this one for eternity: Quantic Dream's divisive adventure Beyond: Two Souls is coming to the PlayStation 4. There's more, however: Heavy Rain will be joining it as part of a Blu-ray double pack. The downside is that it'll only be available in Europe, which is...
E3 2015 Hitman Starts Anew on the PS4 Later This Year
"Good to have you back."
One would think that the next Hitman would be your typical sequel, innovating on top of what the last game did well and improving what it failed to deliver. However, the sixth game in the long-running franchise is simply titled "Hitman", which seems to be like a soft reboot of sorts for Agent 47 come December 8th, 2015...
E3 2015 World of Final Fantasy Brings Square Enix's Beloved Universe to PS4, Vita
What a world
A surprise announcement at Sony's E3 press conference - and not just because it's coming to Vita - Square Enix is developing a turn-based role-playing game known as World of Final Fantasy. The title, which is incredibly cute, celebrates the, er, world of Final Fantasy. The release's debut trailer is a short one, but we're certainly...
E3 2015 Firewatch's PS4 Trailer Is Smart, Stunning, and Scary
Catching fire

E3 2015 Horizon: Zero Dawn Is All About Killing Giant, Mechanical Dinosaurs
And it's a PS4 exclusive
We've known that Horizon was in production for about a year now, but actually seeing Guerilla Games' new IP in action has shown us that it very well may be a big hitter for the PlayStation 4. It's clear that Sony has faith in the project, too, as it was the second game to be shown off during its press conference. After...
E3 2015 Are We Dreaming? Final Fantasy VII Remake Is Coming to PS4
Wait what
We have no words, only feelings. In an announcement that was rumoured, but we couldn't possibly believe, Final Fantasy VII is being remade on PlayStation 4. No, really, it is - and we're not talking about the PS4 remaster. An actual remake of Cloud and co.'s epic journey. All we have right now is a CG trailer, but honestly, that's enough...
E3 2015 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands Delves into the Drug Cartel
Busted
Just when you thought you couldn't get enough open world third-person shooters with games like Tom Clancy's The Division from Ubisoft, the French publisher injected yet another one into its conference right before it ended with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Admittedly, this is quite an interesting premise for the squad-based shooter...

Stomping ground
Arguably the biggest surprise at Ubisoft's E3 2015 press conference was a gritty medieval-themed PlayStation 4 title named For Honor.

The French...
E3 2015 South Park: The Fractured But Whole Is Swearing Up a Storm on PS4
Pre-orders are available now
Bethesda did a great job kicking off its presser with some gory, gutsy footage of DOOM - but we think that Ubisoft may have taken the cake by pulling out Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The comedic duo took to the stage to announce that last year's South Park: The Stick of Truth will be getting a sequel, which will delve...
E3 2015 Unravel Is a 2D Platformer With a Touching Story
EA's Wooly World
Jokes were abundant throughout EA's presser, but as a clearly nervous developer pulled a doll made of yarn from his coat pocket, we seriously contemplated turning off the stream - thank goodness things picked up once some gameplay was shown. Unravel looks pretty great, to be frank. What we're dealing with, it seems, is an artsy...
E3 2015 Whelp, Dark Souls III Will Be The Last Game in the Series
Prepare to cry
After the release of Bloodborne earlier this year - as well as the recently announced Dark Souls III which is set to launch in early 2016 - some have expressed concern that From Software's distinctive brand of mega-difficult game might be releasing too often. However, this fear seems to be unfounded, as the studio has recently...
E3 2015 Yes, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Is Coming to PS4
Developer is aiming for a Spring 2016 release
Not much of a surprise, this one. PopCap Games already hinted at a sequel to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare a while back, so we were expecting to see something at E3. The title made its appearance during Microsoft's conference, which makes sense - as you may

Michonne accomplished

All the DLC and some snazzy visuals

After showing off the likes of Dishonored 2, Bethesda announced that a new-gen Definitive Edition of 2012's Dishonored is coming to the PlayStation 4 this autumn, or fall, for you Americans. It was a rather brief announcement, however, as tonight's focus was clearly on new games...
E3 2015 Dishonored 2 Slinks onto PS4 With Two Playable Characters

E3 2015 DOOM Snapmap Lets You Create and Share Your Own Personal Hell
LittleBigDOOM
Bethesda opened its inaugural E3 press conference with a rather impressive, and astoundingly gory, demo of its reboot of the DOOM franchise. Arguably one of the most exciting announcements, though, was of a feature which allows you to create and share your own maps and levels. Titled Snapmap, this new mode gives you what appears to be...
E3 2015 YouTube Gaming Makes Twitch, Er, Twitch
Google reveals new streaming initiative
Twitch may be trying to laugh off YouTube Gaming's big announcement today, but there will be a lot of businessmen with furrowed brows right now.

News Shadow Warrior 2 Will Sate Your Will for Wang
Wood you look at that
Camp first-person affair Shadow Warrior will be getting a sequel, Devolver Digital has revealed.

The series stars a character named Lo Wang, which should tell you...

News Yes, Call of Duty: Black Ops III Will Take Aim at PS3
Locked and loaded

News Thumper Will Probably Keep You Up All Night on PS4
Magical mystery tour
Thumper is a 'rhythm violence game', and it's coming to PlayStation 4 at some point next year. Developed by Drool, the title's premise sounds absolutely bonkers.

Pew pew pew

News Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair Brings Buggy Slideshows to PS4
EDF! EDF! EDF!
Earth Defense Force's eternal appeal will always be its less-than-stellar presentation. We're not sure whether we find XSEED Games' promise of better performance in the forthcoming PlayStation 4 instalment Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair appealing or not, then – but having read similar pledges for previous...

News Skylanders: SuperChargers Takes a Sharp Turn onto PS4, PS3 This September

News Fallout 4 Is Official, the Wasteland Is Coming to PS4

Much like just about every other mainline Warriors title, the sengoku period slasher will be getting its own Empires spin-off. It'll be marching into Japanese stores on the 3rd September, which likely means a spring 2016 Western release, if it...
News It's Fine to Be Fashionably Late to Corpse Party: Blood Drive
Washin' your hair
We don't know about you, but as this author got older, the concept of 'fashionably late' got taken to extremes. Events would be scheduled for, say, 19:00PM – but you were a jerk if you showed up any earlier than 22:00PM. Growing up is pretty dumb, huh? Having said that, such tactics may come in handy when it comes to Corpse Party...
News Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition Brings Disastrous Puns to PS4

News Apparently, The Witcher 3 Is Getting Two More Pieces of Free DLC on PS4 This Week
Witcher talkin' 'bout, Geralt?
If you haven't been paying attention, you may not have noticed that we really liked The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt here at Push Square. And if its sales figures are anything to go by, everyone else did as well. Thankfully then, developer CD Projekt Red recently announced on its
